need4speed Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Need to get the heater controller. The one on the left hand side of the dash. According to any info i can see the part number STC4848 is correct up to 2002. However the harness that connects this to the heater plug is UTP1908. Now the problem i see is that there are 2 electrical connections on STC4848, yet there are 3 on UTP1908. Is STC4848 the wrong part for a td5? It shouldnt be if it goes up to '02?

Retroanaconda Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 On mine the third connection (which is the earth connection) attaches up towards the top of the slider. It seems to slot onto a tab that's affixed to the frame of the unit. See photo: You can see the tab in the parts diagram here: Not sure where that bit is on yours, can't see it on any of the other internet photos for STC4848 either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yep i can see it clearly on yours. At least if its just an earth i can maybe crimp a ring type connector onto the earth wire and screw it onto controller body, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yep, that'll work. It just provides the connection from the controller assembly to the earth header in the dash. Just make sure that the controller actually drops the current to earth through it's body and not some particular part of it, so you can put the connection in the right place.

western Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) this photo might help with wiring terminal location, 3rd looks to be on the moving part which is the wiper part of the speed controller Edited January 15, 2013 by western better picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Looks like the tab is on that arm then. Looking again at the OPs photo I can just about make out something on there that might be the tab. It will need some paint removing to work I should think.

need4speed Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yep now that i know exactly where to look, i do see something on the original pic. It was very hard to spot due to the paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 On a similar theme...... Can any one confirm on later contoller - The Cable inner has a ring crimped on the heater end as opposed to a bare cable and how the flipp is this is supposed to fit Obviously the earlier one you just pinch the cable inner after you have passed it through the little hole in the trunion, is there a special connecton for the TD 5 heater/cable ? Sorry for the hyjack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
